How can I prevent dystrophic nails?

There isn’t a guaranteed way to prevent dystrophic nails. But you can help prevent toenail fungus if you:

• Change into clean socks at least once a day and anytime your feet get wet. If your shoes get wet, change into a dry pair as soon as you can.
• Don’t share footwear, nail clippers or towels with others.
• Clip toenails straight across. Fungus can grow under longer nails, and clipping nails in a curved shape can encourage ingrown toenails.
• Wear flip-flops or other shoes in locker rooms and public bathrooms. Don’t go barefoot in public places.
